Placing the disk array.
It wasn't just about finding a random place to bury it.
It had to be placed in a specific location. Otherwise, the array wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
In order to prevent others from knowing the location of the disk array.
This time, only Qin Shujian was responsible for burying the disk array.
Other than Wu Tai.
There was no third person in Taishan City who knew the location of the disk array.
Similarly.
Qin Shujian also left a copy of how to activate the disk array for Wu Tai. If someone took over Taishan City in the future, they would also inherit the 18 square disk array.
Leaving a set of powerful Spiritual Artifacts for the imperial court.
Qin Shujian didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, the materials.
They were all provided by the imperial court.
He was only responsible for refining them.
After all, he was invited to deal with Gu Changqing. The corresponding defense array was also part of the mission.
On the other side.
After the army entered Taishan City, they began to stabilize the situation in the city.
At night.
Inside the Governor's Mansion.
Several generals led by Wu Tai, as well as Qin Shujian, the Formation Grandmaster who accompanied the army, had already convened another meeting.
"Tomorrow, the army will assemble at three in the morning. We will depart at five in the morning. I want to take down Yongfeng City before noon!" A sand table was placed in the middle of the main hall. Wu Tai came to the sand table, pointed at the city in front, and said in a deep voice.
Yongfeng City!
It was the city under Gu Changqing's control.
Originally, it was just a medium-sized city like Taishan City.
However, as the Thousand Mountains Mansion was divided into two, Yongfeng City instantly became the frontline of the two armies, just like Taishan City.
"As far as I know, Yongfeng City has 200,000 soldiers. Originally, there were only two God Martial Arts Realm cultivators. However, now that the Demon Clan has intervened, the number of top experts is immeasurable."
After Wu Tai spoke, a middle-aged general said.
"With our current manpower, it won't be difficult to take down Yongfeng City before noon if the Demon Clan doesn't intervene. However, if the Demon Clan experts intervene, I'm afraid things won't be so smooth."
At the mention of the Demon Clan, the others' expressions turned solemn.
The biggest variable now.
. was the Demon Clan.
No one could be sure how much power the Demon Clan had in Thousand Mountains Mansion.
Wu Tai sneered, "It's fine if those monster race bastards don't come, but if they do, I'll make sure they don't return!"
"Could it be that Lord Wu has made some preparations?"
"The matter of the Demon Clan has already reached the Imperial Court. No matter what happens in Thousand Mountains Prefecture, the Demon Clan has no right to interfere."
Hearing this,
Many people's expressions changed slightly.
It was sent to the Imperial Court.
Could it be that the Renhuang had been alerted?
However …
Their status was far inferior to Wu Tai's. There were some things that Wu Tai could know that they were not qualified to know.
If Wu Tai didn't say anything.
The others didn't ask too much.
However, when the other party mentioned the imperial court, it was like a calming pill that gave them a lot of confidence.
In their opinion, as long as the Imperial Court took this matter seriously, it would be fine.
Then, no matter how strong the Demon Race was, they would not have the chance to cause any trouble.
At this moment.
A whistling arrow pierced through the sky, causing Wu Tai and the others' expressions to change. Then, without any hesitation, they rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion. When they looked at the distant sky, they saw a red firework blooming.
The red fireworks were like lotus flowers, especially dazzling in the dark night sky.
"The enemy is attacking. Everyone, be alert!" Without waiting for Wu Tai to speak, the generals on both sides immediately gave the order.
Soon.
The orders were passed down. The defenders who had been resting immediately got up and rushed to the four city walls.
At the same time.
Without needing Wu Tai's instructions, Qin Shujian had already activated the array disc. Eighteen array discs buried deep in the ground were connected, and a protective shield that covered Taishan City directly appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Great City Protection Array!"
The others, who were originally a little panicked because of the firework alert and the momentum of the army mobilization, were relieved when they saw the protective shield above their heads.
As for the players in Taishan City.
Their faces were filled with helplessness.
"They're fighting again. Are they done yet?"
"How long has it been? Are they going to start a war again?"
For them, starting a war would not benefit them at all.
During the battle yesterday, Ju Dongyi did not give them any missions at all. As a result, the players in the city did not take advantage of this opportunity to gain a wave of experience points. Moreover, they were inadvertently killed by the enemy who rushed into the city.
Every time they died.
That was a drop of one level. They really could not afford to lose.
However.
Compared to the tired hearts of the players in Taishan City, the other players who had followed the army to Taishan City after accepting the mission were somewhat eager to give it a try.
If they wanted to complete the mission.
They had to kill the enemy.
Just looking at the generous rewards on the mission made these players excited.
Otherwise.
They would not travel with the army.
On the other side.
A large number of troops were galloping forward. The moment the firework bloomed, Guo Tong knew that his plan to sneak attack this time was going to fail.
However.
The army was about to reach Taishan City, and there was absolutely no reason to retreat.
More importantly.
The Great City Protection Array of Taishan City had been broken, and all the experts in the city had been killed. Now, even if Yan Caizhe sent people to take over Taishan City, it would be difficult to restore the level of defense in a short period of time.
According to the information he had gathered.
At this moment, the army in Taishan City was at most about 400,000. The number of people on their side was not much less than the enemy. The combat power of the high-level experts was even higher than that of the imperial court. Even if they were to fight head-on, they would not be at a disadvantage.
It was also because of these various advantages.
Guo Tong dared to still rush towards Taishan City under the premise of his whereabouts being discovered.
Although the original army had a large number of people.
However, in order to reduce the movement, they had deliberately lowered their voices and closed in on all sides, trying to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
But now, they had been discovered in advance.
Then, there was no need for the army to hide.
Suddenly —
The army rushed forward like thunder.
Even though they were far away, standing on the city wall, they could still feel the buzzing coming from afar.
At the same time.
The spy sent by Wu Tai also immediately returned to report.
"Reporting to my lord, there are armies coming from all four directions. The total number of people is no less than 200,000. They are now heading towards Taishan City!"
"Do you know who the leader is?"
"There are too many people, I can't see clearly."
"Retreat!" Guo Tong waved his hand, his eyes full of coldness.
An army of no less than 200,000.
At this moment, the night was dark. In addition, the army had a large number of people and occupied a vast area. Even if a cultivator had night vision, it would still be affected, resulting in a wrong judgment.
In that case.
An army of no less than 200,000 people, with at least 300,000 people.
With this thought in mind.
Wu Tai sneered and said, "An army of at least 300,000 people. I'm afraid this isn't just the army of Yongfeng City. These rebels won't give up Taishan City so easily. So, this is their backup plan."
If the army had come half a day earlier.
He might have found it troublesome.
However, now that the City Protection Formation had been successfully set up, and Qin Shujian was secretly following the army this time, not many people knew his identity. Gu Changqing's people would never have thought that an Array Master was in Taishan City.
After all —
This time, the imperial court's army had divided quite a lot.
However, there were only two Array Dao Grandmasters, which meant that there would only be one or two Array Dao Grandmasters in the army.
In that case.
There was a lot of uncertainty.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian said, "Lord Wu, I see that there are many mutants in Taishan City. These mutants aren't afraid of death. They only care about the benefits in front of them. Why don't we issue a corresponding mission and let them charge and break through the enemy lines?
This way, we can reduce a lot of casualties. "
Hearing this.
Wu Tai nodded and said, "Master Qin, you're right!"
If it weren't for Qin Shujian's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about the existence of the mutants.
In the end.
There were too many players at this stage. In addition, Wu Tai wasn't very familiar with commanding the players. He would often ignore the existence of these people.
However, Qin Shujian was different.
For him.
Even if he ignored the Heavenly Cultivators, he couldn't ignore the existence of the players.
After all, he wasn't the one paying to issue the mission.
Wu Tai would do these things.
Qin Shujian was just casually saying a few words. There was no loss to him.
Just as Wu Tai was issuing the mission.
All the players in Taishan City were stunned. They looked at the mission in their minds and their faces were filled with excitement.
"Mission: City Protection Battle!"
"Mission Details: Today, the enemy is attacking Taishan City. As a member of Taishan City, you should fight and kill the enemy for the country. Kill all the invaders!"
"Mission Requirement: Kill the enemy."
"Mission Completion: 0"
"Mission Reward: A lot of experience points, a lot of merit points!"
"Mission Failure: No punishment!"
After seeing the specific requirements of the mission, these players were all excited.
Experience points!
Merit points!
Compared to the former, the latter was even more exciting.
The merit points in the army were similar to the contribution points in the sect. They could be exchanged for many precious items.
In addition.
Merit points had another important use.
That was —
Exchange for official positions!
Once they exchanged for official positions, it meant that the players had officially joined the imperial court. Moreover, they could control a lot of NPCs. This way, in the future, when they killed enemies and leveled up, their speed would definitely be much faster than other players.
After all.
When the NPCs under their command killed the enemy, as a general, the players could also get a corresponding commission of experience points.
This was for them.
It was simply an irresistible temptation.
Many players were against the rise of war. It wasn't because they were afraid of war, but because the war didn't trigger any missions.
This way.
The rewards they could get would be much less.
Moreover.
There was a high probability that they would lose money.
However, things were different now. After Wu Tai issued this quest, the players in Taishan City were riled up. For a time, the players in the city were agitated, and this change had indirectly increased the morale of the city's defenders.
At this time.
The rebel army had also arrived not far from Taishan City.
Looking at the large array that covered the entire city, Guo Tong couldn't help but wipe his eyes. He almost thought that he was seeing things.
